The New York .Sun remarks that,

Mr.. Blaine believes that his official
record is forgotten-but it isn't. He
thinks he can come home from Europe
and "whoop her up'' in 1SSS-but he
can't. And he is very certain that If

next campaign he will get there but
he won't.-[New York Herald, Ind.
There is no question of Cleveland's
denomination and of his reelection,
Whether Ohio casts her vote for Cleve-
land in 1883 is question for the
people to decide in due time. For the

The great bulk of the business is

1t is the great drawback to the ag-
ricultural prosperity of the South, this
system of farming on advances at high
rates of interest. 1t eats up the profits,
and the receipts from the great staple
crops are largely swallowed up in in
terest; interest on everything; on
farm mortgages, crop mortgages, and

system is ingrained in the business
habits of the people, and improve
ment is very slow indeed, but there is

ages and abets (even by secretly cele-
brating polygamous marriages), that
crime, it will be time to listen to and

Until then, the project is not to be
for an instant entertained by men who
accept in sincerity the meaning of the
proposition: "Polygamy must CO."

ticket in this state improves every
day. The real differences in the
country districts have all been ad-
justed. and notably the kickers, trim

cal slander is that all the ignorant
voters in the country are Democratic.
But this is only new rendering of
the Republican party's old boast that
it monopolizes the wealth, intelligence
and virtue of the State and country.
1t is true that the workingmen of the
North are mostly Democratic, but it is
not true that they are ignorant or
vicious, as Hoar and his fellow-Re-
publican demagogues assert. The
greatest illiteracy is among the col
Ored people of the South. Why doesn't
Hoar clamor for their exclusion from
the polls, or agitate for poll tax on
their ballots? He would if they were
intelligent white men living in Massa-
